Answer:

Explanation:

Usually the sounds convey either confusion or fear. She uses the clacking of shoes to show one or both of these responses.

This is not a happy experience for a little girl who lacks language skills and anything resembling a way of telling those she was with that what they were doing was either humiliating or mentally painful or both. That only increased her frustration. In addition, there were cultural problems. The white woman was totally unaware of what she was doing which she meant with great affection.

I think the whites should have been very careful about the hair cutting episode. If the girl resisted, they should have found out why. Surely someone could have interpreted it. You are asking about sound. Every sound, no matter how innocent, would have frighted the child simply because she had no idea what was going on. And every sound was recorded negatively.

Even her dreams were cluttered with sound that frightened. She dreams of the devil and hears the hinges of the door squeaking while she is asleep. She dreams of him chasing her around the stove. The squeaking is like a loud drum introducing his entrance.

I have started it for you. You can keep going in the same vain.

"I eventually had to use the dogs." What is this an example of?
telo118 [61]
I would say foreshadowing because it says “eventually” which means you’re saying like “fast forward to this event”. It hasn’t happened but your telling what did happen.

Ye that oppose independence now ye know not what ye do; ye are opening a door to eternal tyranny by keeping vacant the seat of g
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: Hyperbole

A hyperbole is an exaggeration that is not meant to be taken literally. It is usually used to make a persuasive point or to add emphasis. In this case, "opening a door to eternal tyranny" is an example of an exaggeration of this type. While it is likely that tyranny will not be eternal (the country itself will not be eternal), its purpose is to emphasize the risk of keeping the seat of governent vacant.
